Didn't intend to imply you're a hater.

[subterfuge]

Thanks rock. I'm a Gator fan and we certainly get our share of hater. All that crying about getting to the big game is misplaced imo. I'll be happy for UF to win the SEC and go to the Sugar. If they don't win in ATL they'll go to the Capital One Citrus Bowl which is 10 minutes from my house! I can't lose!

Good luck vs. UCLA and Ohio State!

[rockthecasbah]

Going to the Coliseum is an experience. You get to see some history unfold. It's changed a little in the last 29 years, no? I was a student there 1977-81 during the Charles White, Marcus Allen and Ronnie Lott era. Some great memories.

[rockthecasbah]

A friend heard an ad on the radio yesterday where a local furniture store out in West Los Angeles is having this promotion where if you spend $2000 or more at their store from now until kickoff of the UCLA/USC game this Saturday and if UCLA pulls off the upset, then you get to keep all of the purchases you made at that store for free. Interesting way to get people to buy from them but it can obviously be very costly to them. The owner is not going out on the limb of course but still a bit risky.

[rockthecasbah]

Maybe Coach Karl goes and loads up on some furniture to show his boys he has faith in them.

lol. I liked that! Sorry Army FREEPER FRiends. Too bad your going down!!!!

[napscoordinator]

The Army will not know what hit them this weekend. lol. We all are getting together to watch on Saturday night (starts at 8:30 P.M.) here so there will be Army-Navy Football parties everywhere. It should be a good time.

Furniture dealers have been doing that this season in several other cities - can't think which ones, right off hand - but obviously Mattress Mac here in Houston could do it as a standing bet on the Texans and not have to pay out very much, lol.

Actually, I think some of the numbers have been $700,000 or $800,000 - usually less than $1 million the dealers have had to pay. They would spend a lot more than that on other advertising and they get lots of goodwill PR out of it.

[Rte66]

Have fun and enjoy this while you can! It hasn't always been this way. Roll Navy!

[Lakeshark]

I think Wisconsin is probably well overrated.

Having seen them a couple of times, I think you're wrong, and you're lucky you didn't have to play them this year.. They would have played you very tough. They were where I expected Iowa to be this year, very well balanced, very much a Penn State type of toughness defensively.

[Lakeshark]

From what I understand, if they ignore what happened with Bush, they will have to apologize to a lot of other schools who did less.

These things take time.

[MikefromOhio]

College Football Ping.

Freepmail me to be added to this list.

[MikefromOhio]

Maybe...

I think OHio State would've won against them going away assuming they played as well as they did against everyone but Illinois....Illinois was their one bad game this year.

[MikefromOhio]

I don't know if anyone is watching this game on ESPN2, but Houston has a couple guys who will end up playing in the NFL on defense.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

HEY mIKE...i HAVE NO FEELINGS FOR THIS WEEKEND GAMES....I just hope that GT can win it would be nice to see Reggie Ball go out on a good note.....I always root for Navy because being on a ship sounds like more fun.....I'd love to see Arkansas win over Florida......My prediction is that if USC loses it will be Michigan in the BCS game.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

GEAUX ARMY! BEAT NAVY! BLACK KNIGHTS OF THE HUDSON, RISE!!!!

[Man50D]

I think Wisconsin is probably well overrated.

I agree. They had an easy schedule.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Speaking of easy schedules how about Purdue. They've jut had 2 years where they played neither ohio state or michigan.

Ture. The best team Purdue beat was Minnesota(6-6)

FYI..earlier this week I was in the city, some shopping, lunch with some clients, one who is an exec with ABC..took me to a private screening of "We are Marshall"..Good movie, definitely worth seeing.. though not as good as is being touted. The problem I think is that unlike the sports movies based on reality, where we know the outcome will be a good one..i.e. "Hoosiers", "Chariots of Fire", heck, even "Miracle on Ice"..we know the denoument here isn't a happy one. Not sure if I'd have released it for the Holiday season....
